Valero isn't signed to fight 3 fights in that lightweight tournment ... none of those fighters are ... they were talking about JMM fighting the winner ... but what would be the point if he got a full championship belt ... he's going to be fighting that Pitulia guy ... for the full WBC belt.
I like Valero via KO within 6 rounds. JMM has been hurt by punches a lot less powerful than what Valero is going to hit him with. Valero's speed is underrated. He will eventually catch JMM and he will finish him.
No, he is not anyway faster than Diaz. Valero will be very dangerous to any fighter from 130-140 because of his power but he would not last more than five rounds against the likes of JMM or Pac.
Valero will eventually fight at 147 ... I don't know what people think ... his speed is on the level of Pacquiao ... if not faster ... and this guy is stronger than Pacquiao ...
Marquez brutal TKO inside 5 rounds. Valero is way over-rated. I doubt he'll even beat Pitalua. There's no way he beats Marquez, JMM would have a field day with Valero's laughable lack of boxing ability and wind-mill punches. The guy's chin isn't great either, Mosquera had him on the canvas, and JMM will sycthe him down with clean, accurate and heavy punches. Like I said, I doubt he'll even beat Pitalua. This is a tough, experienced and powerful guy full of confidence.
Valero KO 4 ... unlike Pacquiao ... Valero has tremendous power ... Marquez is a slow started and will have to whether the storm ... Valero would catch him and not let up until the referee stops the fight.
You think the best technical fighter by a country mile in the sport today would have trouble slipping those predictable wind-mill left right combinations? Marquez would humiliate this guy.
